Christine Renaud (She/her)

CEO, E180

Christine Renaud is a pioneer in collaborative learning and the CEO of Braindate, a tech company she co-founded to transform events into spaces for deep human connections.

Guided by a radical vision of learning—decentralized, horizontal, and deeply human—she creates environments where everyone can belong and share their knowledge.

As a Harvard-trained “education anarchist” and bootstrapped founder in a venture capital-driven world, Christine builds purpose-driven projects on her own terms.

Braindate, embraced by iconic brands such as TED, NVIDIA, Salesforce, and SXSW, was named one of the World’s Most Innovative Companies in the event space by Fast Company in 2025.
